Bruce’s quotes to live by

For a while now, I’ve been making a list of my favorite quotes. They are happy and sad, serious and silly, long and short. They come from a variety of different sources, including movies, TV shows, and songs, as well as things people have said to me, papers I’ve read, speeches I’ve heard, and more.

I truly think that the conglomeration of these quotes gives a pretty good overview of who I am, and maybe some of them will rub off on you. Of course, that is only if you agree that they’re good to live by and laugh by.
